I don't think you can say that in general, though.  "Here's a picture
of my new baby!" with a nice inline display for the HTML subpart, and
presented by the MUA as an attachment for people who are momentarily
restricted to text-only, seems like a common application.

That's definitely wrong, though, if the image is part of the HTML
stationery.
